invests them with a splendor of order in keeping with their 
historical associations and the spirit of the gorgeous past, of 
which they are magnificent if decaying monuments.

aX, KRATKE 


J 


One of the three most eminent French aquafortists, whose 
etchings of the works of Corot and Meissonier have attained 
the highest fame. His paintings of Napoleon, during the 
French campaign, attracted great attention at the Salon of 
1894. 


Battle of Wagram 


‘© | Napoleon was looking at the Tower of Neusiedel. 
At last he saw the firing by Davoust reaching beyond ‘it. 
‘Go,’ said Napoleon to an officer of his staff, ‘ quick, tell 
Massena to begin the attack at once, and the battle is won.’ ”

VOLLON, Antoine 


Born in Lyons, 1833, and a pupil of Théodule Ribot. 
Antoine Vollon is a masterly painter of genre subjects, land- 
scapes, marines, and still life, though it is by the latter class of 
pictures that he is most widely known throughout the civilized 
world. For instance, he secured his appointment as an Officer 
of the Legion of Honor, in 1878, by a picture of two fishes, 
which is now in the Luxembourg. He continues to paint 
landscape and the figure, when the mood is on him, with a 
vast breadth and freedom and truth to nature, in spite of the 


superior popularity won by his bold and powerful technique 
and splendor of color in his still-life subjects.

Born in Paris in 1840. Pupil of Picot and Barrias. Aman 
of very original and novel ideas. A thorough draughtsman 
and painter, who has made an individual mark. Beginning 
as a painter of the nude, he has become one of the best 
known artistic satirists of our time. Everything he touches 
has an idea behind it. He is an able writer as well as painter. 
Has written for the stage with success, and is represented in 
most public and private collections.
